Have two of your opponents get injured within the first 15 minutes, absolute genius!

If I could do it every game I would. I expect the reverse fixture will be very tough with your avg starting squad rating being around 7!

Is the transfer market global or is it only goons?

It's shared amongst the private leagues, so not just us.

No. And I think it’s ok to rub their nose in it if they check SA before X11

I thought about going down to low aggression to deal with my S2 H9 ref, but decided to stay on normal. Cue player getting sent off. Cheating, diving opponents! Tbf we were cheating too!

Still, won 4-1 with one goal even coming during the 10 v 11 period.

Xpertten here!

Things are going scarily well for me. How long til the wheels fall off?

"Bruising" strategies get you a hell of a lot of yellow cards, but I'm choosing to believe it got me the win.

I was surprised you went that route with S5 H9 Hans Grüber. That could have easily backfired on you but I guess I was playing too defensive to get the most out of my free kick specialist. :golfclap:

I had the same, went Normal + Cheating, and received more yellows than the other team somehow. Doesn't help that their midfield just went off.

My record might be poo poo, but my form and DV are coming along nicely. Plan right now is to try to scrounge together what money I can and see how some of these 18-19s develop before spending on a few late-20's talents next year to fill in the gaps and dump anyone who doesn't skill up.

e; Holy poo poo the bets were off this pool.

Have to watch the transfer market for deals that make it down to the last hour. There are a ton of filters that will help you find those unicorns.

Don't worry I watched it live. I'm hoping to start a tradition of turning what should be comfortable wins into debacles. Although anyone can check, I did not throw that game, I bet for myself in the pool.

It's a shame we have to fire our garbage starter players. Shouldn't we be able to do the kind thing, put them out of their misery and turn them into soap?

Keeping your squad filled with the garbage non starters lessens the chance of a random event or dirty trick hitting your key players!

After a good soaping, the fans could call him Christian Schlaff!

17/5 is great, and if you check out the top teams in the official leagues it seems their strategy is buy 16/5 or 17/6 players (or 1 less skill if they have good SQs) for like 15 million econ each and eventually they can get up to 20 skill. Of course that takes a few years IRL and in this league that amount of money could be used elsewhere...

Okay I officially have too many prospects and training is more expensive than them.

e; At this point I feel like I'm mostly committed and have to just see it through, most of them are ahead of "pace" for development for the year based on what the DV that just came out was. Anyone who doesn't double jump is probably going to get shipped out and replaced with a 28 y/o with 8+.

Woo, my 18/5 intellegent/cool forward is already at 3 goals this season and is cruising at 18 form

come on, you can double jump and become a superstar

I also forgot how fast goalkeepers get DV. My 18/4 GK is already at a +7 after 3 games!
